how to use mulethi powder for cough - #25251
I am dealing with this persistent cough that just won’t go away! It started a couple of weeks ago when I caught a nasty cold, and now it’s hanging on like my neighbor’s cat. I read about mulethi powder and how to use mulethi powder for cough, but I’m not sure if I'm doing it right. I've been mixing it with warm water and honey, but I can’t tell if it's really helping. My throat still feels scratchy, and I sometimes get this weird tickle that just makes me cough even more. Like, do I need to take it longer to see results? Or maybe I shouldn’t mix it with honey? I heard some people use it with milk, too. Do you think mixing mulethi powder with milk works better? Ugh, I just want to feel normal again! Any tips on how to use mulethi powder for cough effectively? It would be awesome to know if there are any other remedies I can try along with it.

Mulethi, or licorice root, is indeed a traditional Ayurvedic remedy for cough and respiratory conditions. Yet, it’s important to ensure that its use aligns with your unique constitution and the specific nature of your cough. Given how it’s sticking around after a cold, it seems it might be a kapha-vata imbalance — that’s often the case with persistent coughs where mucus isn’t being cleared effectively or an ongoing irritation persists.
Using mulethi powder with honey in warm water is a popular method. However, note that honey itself can be quite soothing and has natural expectorant qualities which can also promote healing. If you feel it hasn’t eased symptoms, it may be worthwhile to adjust your approach or try these tips for better results:
1. Mulethi with Milk: Mixing mulethi with warm milk can also be beneficial, especially if you feel a dryness in your throat (often linked to vata aggravation). In such case, milk adds a moisturizing, nourishing quality that may alleviate that scratchy feeling. Add half a teaspoon of mulethi powder to a cup of warm milk and consume before bed.
2. Duration & Consistency: Results can take a little time, typically about a week of consistent use. However, it’s important not to overuse licorice as it can sometimes raise blood pressure, so keep an eye on that, especially if you have hypertension history.
3. Additional Remedies: Consider adding ginger and black pepper to your routine. Ginger tea or fresh ginger infused with honey can be quite effective — it’s warming and pacifies both kapha and vata. Similarly, a small pinch of black pepper with honey helps in clearing mucus.
4. Lifestyle Recommendations: Stay hydrated, avoid cold foods, and rest your voice when possible. Breathe in steam with a few drops of eucalyptus or peppermint oil to help relieve nasal congestion.
5. When to Seek Help: If symptoms persist, the cough worsens, or other complications arise, see a healthcare provider to rule out any serious underlying issues.
